6 nimmt! (1994)

“[6 Nimmt] is fast, chaotic fun. It works best with four to eight players and plays in 30 minutes.”

“It surprises me that this game came out in '94, and, uh, it's sort of gotten a bit of a resurgence lately - it seems maybe thanks to Board Game Arena - but still a game that I don't think gets talked about enough.”

“But together with the already mentioned accessibility of the rules, the price makes this at least a must-try for every gamer. You might just fall in love with horns.”

“This game is such a classic game, if you haven't tried it I'd highly recommend it. It's, um, it's been a hit with everyone we've played it with.”(18:29)

“It never fails to deliver fun, no matter who happens to play, and it does so with an elegance that's hard to find in the world of tabletop games. 6 Nimmt! is an absolute joy, I recommend it without reservation.”

“But despite that, I now couldn't imagine having a card game collection without it. There's an ineffable quality of flow that a lot of the best card games have an undemanding, easygoing silkiness that you want when you're choosing to play a card game over a boardgame.”(11:58)

“Six N is kind of fun. It really reminded me of the old card games that you always play on camping trips with all of your cousins hanging around having a good time. It's a really basic game.”(2:47)

“I can say that I love the stuff that [X nimmt!] has brought to the [nimmt] style system, and at this point I pretty much always want to play [X nimmt!] versus any of the others because of these extra great decisions that you have to play with.”(15:19)

“It's a weird game, it's funky, it's super simple and it feels like there's no decision, but there is a ton of decision, which is interesting as well. Feels like you're just picking a card.”(8:28)

“Not every game needs to be a brain burner, and 6 Nimmt! fills a niche in my colllection: a game that is incredibly portable, that accommodates small as well as large groups, and that always produces a good time. 6 Nimmt! is a game I can count on, and that’s enough.”

“It's easy to see why this game has stood the test of time. Despite its age, it doesn't feel outdated or stale – instead, this gives me classic card game nostalgia vibes.”

“It's not without quibbles related to the facilitation of play, particularly at higher player counts, but it's one where it's worth pushing through these issues with a group that will appreciate its particular brand of chaos.”
